Nylon Extra Large Straining Bag- 2' x 3'- Coarse Mesh: This bag is perfect for those times when you have a lot of ingredients to work with. This is a large bag that can hold a lot of whatever you are making.

Great for holding steeping grain that comes in kits. I reuse these several times by boiling the bag in clean water one or two times after I've brewed with it. When I retire the bag, I repurpose it for brewing compost tea. Great value considering how may times it can be reused.

I tried this bag for my first BIAB attempt. It worked really well and was plenty large enough. Unfortunately as I pulled my bag out, it developed about a quarter size tear. Not the end of the world, but was a bit disappointed. I'll likely try it again and be a bit more gentle w/ my paddle.

I used this straining bag to make one gallon of blueberry wine. It worked great and was easy to clean. It is big enough to probably make a 5 gallon fruit wine. I was surprised how easy it was to clean.

I'm starting BIAB all-grain and this is exactly what I needed. It's a little big for my pot (only a 3 gallon, I tend to do small batches) but I like that when I upgrade to a larger kettle this will still work. Sturdy and holds grain well.

Ordered this bag to try and do brew-in-bag . Worked awesome, I have done all the way up to 14 lbs of grain and no tears or breakage of the bag. I know use it as back up filter for my mash tun if I would a have a stuck sparge, I can always move the mash and put this in place and use this as filter(only happened once so far :)) but worked awesome. Definetly worth the price.

When I first started brewing, one of my biggest frustrations was straining the wort into the fermenter. The screen in the funnel would constantly get clogged with particulate matter. Most batches, it would take close to a half hour to get the wort from the kettle to the fermenter. _x000D__x000D_I bought this baby to put into the fermenter, and pour all the wort into this. This strains out the gunk, and in 2 minutes flat, my beer is ready to start fermenting. It's easy to dump the trub out, and you can wash this in the dishwasher without detergent to sanitize._x000D__x000D_I've made 5 batches with this so far, so I have saved about 2 and a half hours, for $7. Best brewing investment I have made!

I got this bag for BIAB but with it's very course mesh it may let too much flour into the wort making you restrain through a finer mesh. Overall a fine bag but watch out for lost yield. Good value for experimentation.

Good overall quality, cleans up well with hot water. I actually use this to line my bucket fermenter, wrap it over the sides of bucket, secure it with big black document clips, pour in the wort then lift out the filter out to collect any larger particles left from the boil. I boil mine in a separate pot to sanitize it and its holding up great!

I have been using one of these in a stove top pot for partial mashes of up to 7.5 lbs of grain and it works well. I am now upgrading to all grain and found that this bag is just large enough to fit in my electric 15.5 gal. keggle with the ability to fold it back over the rim of the keggle (but just barely). I haven't tried yet with larger quantities of grain, but one might be able to double them up if needed. Still cheaper than building a cooler mash tun. Wish they made one this size with fine mesh.

A good starter choice for a bag for BIAB, before buying a custom made bag. Its not too fine, so it drains easily. It may allow a bit too much flour in your wort, so your trub will be larger._x000D_Still a good deal.

I bought two of the for brew-in-a-bag. I split the grains between two bags because the grains are very heavy after mashing, and you have to stand over the kettle and hold the hot bag up in the air until it drains. With two bags, it's twice as easy!_x000D__x000D_The mesh is actually semi-fine, and does pretty well straining out the solids from the mash, however the beer does come out a little cloudy.

i use three of these bags to "brew in a bag". i have put close to 10 pounds of dry grain in these at times and never had a tear or seem failure when hoisting them out at the end of the mash (soaked and heavy). they have lasted many batches and i am replacing them because of holes i put in them from catching them on a steel mesh platform i made to keep them off the bottom of the pot. they do a fine job of keeping the grains in, i wish there were a fine mesh version in this size though.

I built a RIMS (Recirculating Infusion Mash system) that pumps the wort from the bottom of the mash tun, thru a heat exchanger and back into the mash tun. Even though I have a false bottom, I was getting a stuck mash early in the brew, until I tried one of these strainer bags. These work great to keep the coarse grains under control but still let the wort make it into circulation. They clean up well and I can reuse one several times before they start to break down. I couldn't un my system without one!

I doubt it. It won't come close to fitting over my 15 gallon Mega Pot 1.2. However it does fit over my 8-gallon pot's pretty well (but its close). However if you're happy using it like a giant tea bag ....it should be fine ....but watch out for the temperature probe that It didn't puncture the bag.
